Authorities in California are desperately searching for an SUV and its occupants after it was captured on video driving on a highway shoulder and then flying off a cliff.

In the 170-second video released by the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, the dark-colored vehicle can be seen traveling northbound and then shooting across State Route 1 just south of Gray Whale Cove State Beach in Half Moon Bay, California, before disappearing from view.

A person who was traveling on the multi-lane highway saw the SUV and captured the dramatic moment on video at around 11 a.m. on Monday,

Looks like suicide to me - I hope the driver was alone and didn't take out his or her family

1. Very sad, but yes, I'd agree with you as to what this likely reflects.

I too hope no family members or friends were along for the final ride. That said, I can only hope there is some peaceful realm for those who were so obviously suffering in life.

2. Could be fake.
3. Coulda been onea them self-driving vehicles.
4. I'll wait for an update.

8. This is where it happened per the sheriff's department..

They describe it as occurring at 'SR-1, just south of Gray Whale Cove'. The driver who captured the video is lucky that he wasn't driving a tick faster.

13. Looks like it might be a good place for a guard rail...

...rather than a ramp into the ocean... but what do I know? I suppose you can't always protect people from themselves.
